Chapter 234

234 troubled times

Shen Qingru is completely speechless. Women in love are so blind. Xu Mingzhu is not stupid, but she is stubborn and terrible in some aspects.

However, she still wants to give Xu Mingzhu some advice.

"Don't say I don't like your highness King Yong. Even if you and I change places, I will give him up." Shen Qingru said softly, "everyone can see his ambition. Your highness King Yong is determined to seek the position of Prince. He married you just because he formed an alliance with the Regent's house, not really treat you."

"So what?" Xu Mingzhu proudly raised her head: "he married me. As long as I treat him well every day, one day his heart will be warmed by me."

Shen Qingru shook his head: "There are only two results for your highness King Yong to seek the throne of Prince, success or failure. If he fails, you, as his wife, will be implicated by him, and even the whole Regent's palace will be implicated. If he succeeds, you may have the honor of motherhood in the future, but pearl, can you stand sharing a husband with other women? Can you tolerate your husband's three palaces and six courtyards Seventy two concubines? "

Xu Mingzhu was stunned.

"If you don't love, maybe you can bear it." Shen Qingru said faintly, "but since you like him, you can't bear it. You can't have a good ending."

Most of these so-called unilateral likes have bad endings, especially falling in love with an ambitious man, such as my brother and Miss Xu, such as myself in a previous life.

Xu Mingzhu looked at her with a look of disapproval on her face, but there was a faint fear in her eyes. She knew very well that Shen Qingru was right.

But after so many years of love, could it be that she could erase it with a casual word? Xu Mingzhu's face was slightly pale and left with vain steps, leaving a thin but straight back.

Xu Mingzhu will figure it out. All she needs is time. Shen Qingru stands in place and looks at the slim but stubborn back.

Xu Mingzhu stumbled away until she came to a place where Shen Qingru could no longer see. Her cold fingertips trembled and took out the silver white porcelain vase from her arms. Empress Yan Ru's promise echoed in her ears - "this temple always likes you very much. If you like, this temple will let you be the imperial concubine of King Yong. With this temple, King Yong will treat you wholeheartedly“

Do you want to trust empress Yan Ru once? Xu Mingzhu hesitated. It took a long time for her to carefully put the small porcelain vase in her arms again. She had to think about it again. After all, once this thing was done, there was no room for turning back.

Unexpectedly, the Regent's house is destined to be an eventful time recently. The old lady has not recovered from what happened on the day of the Palace Banquet, and a bad news has spread to the Regent's house.

General Lin, the first deputy general under Regent Wang gning, hurried to the Regent's house in a four grade military officer's robe. He looked anxious. When he met the old princess, he looked like he wanted to talk and stop.

Shen Qingru saw that general Lin was a seven foot man with red eyes and a choking tone. He guessed that something must have happened to gning. The old princess of the family was too old to be stimulated. Xu Mingzhu was too old to stand it. Now she was the only one left.

She gently advised the old lady to take a rest in the next room, but the old lady disagreed. Regent Wang gning is his only son. Although he hasn't been in the house for so many years, the relationship between mother and son has been very good. Now that her son has an accident, how can she take a rest!

General Lin is also a rough man. He always thinks that women can't do anything. It's no use whether it's the old princess or these two young girls. Although Princess Mingzhu used to be arrogant and domineering, in general Lin's eyes, she's just a paper tiger, not to mention the more weak looking young lady Qingru?

"Can there be a man in the house..." general Lin hesitated. He also knew that the Regent had no son, only one biological daughter and one adopted daughter, but it was time to use a man, even if it was a collateral nephew.

The old lady thought about it, but there was really one. His name was yuan Guan. He was Yuan Yu's cousin who was interrupted by the Regent last time. Since Yuan Yu molested Shen Qingru and was driven out of the house by the Regent last time, the people of the yuan family came to the door many times and were expelled. Later, the old lady couldn't bear it. Then she let them in quietly while the Regent was not in the house.

Yuan Guan is obviously much smarter than yuan Yu, who has an empty leather bag and a greasy voice. The whole yuan family is disgusted by the Regent because of his cousin's flirting with Shen Qingru. The yuan family, who used to be the Regent's uncle's family, has become a laughing stock in the streets. But yuan Guan does not blame Yuan Yu, but blames Shen Qingru. They are all troubled women Man, if she hadn't complained to Uncle regent, how could my cousin be disabled for life? This woman is really vicious!

But yuan Guan's mind is obviously much deeper than yuan Yu's. on the face of it, he always treats people with courtesy and never tells anyone anything. Especially in front of the old princess, he smiles and looks like a gentle gentleman.

But privately, it doesn't prevent him from provoking Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru often comes to greet the old princess. She meets yuan Guan a lot. She never cares who yuan Guan is. She only knows that she is a distant relative of the old princess.

The old lady is kind-hearted. She not only doesn't dislike these poor relatives who often come to visit the autumn wind, but also gives them generous gold and silver and silk and satin. Over time, these poor relatives are buzzing like flies seeing meat.

Yuan Guan looked at her contemptuously in no one's place. It's just a woman. What's the climate? In the future, when my uncle is old, will the power of the Regent's house be left to such a weak woman who can't carry her shoulders and hands? Of course, we still have to rely on their nephews.

If Shen Qingru is smart, he should have a good relationship with them now. In the future, for the sake of his uncle, they will also support Shen Qingru. If she is still as arrogant as she is now, hum, the water poured by the married woman, he will take good care of Shen Qingru when he inherits the rights of the Regent's house in the future.

Yuan Guan looked at Shen Qingru in the corridor with a girl to greet the old princess. Somehow, her faint smile stimulated yuan Guan. Is Yuan Yu confused by Shen Qingru?

Shen Qingru inexplicably looked at Yuan Guan who jumped out of nowhere. The other party stood with positive and negative hands. His eyes glanced at her proudly, but he said with a smile: "Qingru sister is polite."

"This is the young master of yuan family watch." Han Xiang, a servant girl on one side, reminded Shen Qingru in her ear. Yuan Guan stared at the servant girl discontentedly. They met with the old princess. How could Shen Qingru not remember his handsome and handsome appearance?

"Oh..." Shen Qingru smiled faintly: "it's cousin yuan's family."

She said hello and prepared to leave with Hanxiang. Unexpectedly, Yuan Guan blocked her only way. Shen Qingru didn't even bother to look at Yuan Guan at all, but casually said, "what does cousin yuan mean? “

"I heard that sister Qingru grew up in summer and lived in Nanman for a long time. I've been in Xijing since I was a child and haven't left for so many years. Can sister Qingru tell me about the scenery of summer?" Yuan Guan said with a smile.

"Oh..." Shen Qingru said lazily, "Han Xiang, haven't you been to the summer too? Tell young master Biao." then he left and only smoked yuan Guanqi's seven tricks.

This woman is really ignorant... He just wanted to make things difficult for each other, but the other party directly asked the servant girl to send him

Yuan Guan couldn't help it any longer. Taking advantage of no one around, he simply whispered, "Shen Qingru, do you know that because of you, brother Yu, he has been paralyzed in bed until now? Do you know that your word has hurt him all his life? “

"So what?" Shen Qingru finally glanced at each other lightly, with a casual look: "what's the matter with Yuan Yu and me?"

"He suffered for himself, and it should be the end." Shen Qingru turned away with a light posture. Yuan Guan looked at the slender figure who went away and bit his teeth hard.

This Shen Qingru is really smart and shameless. Ordinary women should have shed tears of shame when he scolded them. Shen Qingru was so indifferent and indifferent that he deserved to satirize Yuan Yu.

When he inherits the power of the Regent's house in the future, he must be as good-looking as this little bitch Shen Qingru!

"Why don't you let guan'er listen?" the old lady hesitated. Like general Lin, she thought the girl was not good. At this time, she still needed an adult man in the house to come forward and think about it. Yuan Guan was the only suitable candidate.

"Qingru, you and Mingzhu go next door to have a rest." the old princess didn't want the two girls at home to worry too much, so she wrote lightly: "let your cousin crown help."

"Grandma, cousin yuan is also an outsider. Let me stay here."

The old princess was flustered and didn't force her too much. Yuan Guan was soon found. When general Lin saw that everyone was here, he spoke carefully: "something happened to the Regent!"

It turned out that Regent Wang gning was taking his entourage to build a military defense against the northern desert army at the border. Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly sent people to the ducha. The ducha was ordered by the emperor to monitor military affairs, and it was found that there was a shortage of millions of liang of gold in military pay and food at the border.

What's more strange is that the grain officer in charge of managing the military pay died of illness a few days ago, which suddenly became a real headless debt. In his anger, the emperor thought it was Regent Wang gning who stole from himself, and became angry.

In fact, the emperor has always been tolerant of the Regent's house. After all, Regent Wang gening is a real military genius. Turks resist the summer in the South and resist the northern desert in the North all rely on gening's outstanding military talent. In addition, the emperor needs the Regent's house to restrict the growing Yan Ruyi family, so he has always been quite preferential to the Regent's house.

But this time it touched the bottom line of the emperor. The emperor would never tolerate his generals to make money. At a young age, perhaps the generals were greedy for money to embezzle food and salaries. At a large age, would the Regent's palace want to rebel?

Naturally, no one dared to persuade the emperor's anger. In addition, Yan Ruyi promoted the fire behind it. The emperor more and more suspected that Regent Wang gning had the intention of rebellion.

"The officials of the Regent's Department begged for mercy one after another. Your majesty has killed seven people in his anger..." general Lin choked with military language: "madam, what should I do now? Can the prince be saved this time?"

General Lin came here to discuss countermeasures with the people in the Regent's residence, but looking at the weak women in this room, he had no confidence in himself. Who else can save the prince this time?

The heavy atmosphere was heavy on everyone's heart. The old princess barely raised her spirits, comforted general Lin, got up and sent people out of the house, but she fainted halfway before she returned to the house.

Shen Qingru was also stunned. She always thought that gning was strong and overbearing. She never thought that gning would be in trouble one day. Thunder billowed outside the window, the heavy rain was coming, and the lilacs outside the window trembled in the cold wind. Shen Qingru looked out of the window at the bright and dark night, and gradually lost her mind.

She has always wanted to find a chance to leave the Regent's house and return to Daxia. Now the Regent's house is in a panic, which is a good time for her to leave. She should have taken the opportunity to leave, but the kindness of Genin and the old princess to her stopped her.

Shen Qingru bit her lower lip. In the dark night, the rainstorm finally poured down. The pavilions, plants and trees in the Royal Palace all lost their outline in the rainstorm, and gradually disappeared into invisibility. The whole world was blurred.

Shen Qingru finally made up her mind. In any case, she couldn't leave until she rescued Genin.

Facts have proved that Yuan Guan is also an embroidered pillow. He looks smart and resourceful on weekdays, but he hesitates at the critical moment and can't think of any ideas.

Yuan Guan was not completely incompetent. He just thought that uncle Regent was in great trouble this time. It was likely that he would not only be executed, but also harm his family, which made yuan Guan very afraid. Up to now, he has not won the great benefit of the Regent's house. Did he lose his life just for a little gold and silver treasure on weekdays?

impossible! He must quickly get rid of his relationship with the Regent's house. Anyway, they are relatives who can't beat eight poles. Now the Regent's house is in trouble. Their yuan family should hide far away.

The old imperial concubine is very ill. Xu Mingzhu will only cry around the old imperial concubine at the critical moment. Shen Qingru sneers and looks at Yuan Guan, who is scratching his ears and cheeks and thinking of leaving, and gently spits out a word in her mouth.

"Get out!"

Yuan Guanru was pardoned. He rolled out and left a sentence: "cousin, I'm not feeling well today. I'll leave first and visit again later."

Yuan Guan was relaxed, but now the Regent's house is going to be all on her head. The more critical it was, the more important it was to be calm. Shen Qingru took a deep breath and forced herself to cheer up,

The old princess was so confused that Shen Qingru could only ask Xu Mingzhu to take good care of her grandmother. On the one hand, she summoned several housekeepers in charge of the house to discuss together. Several housekeepers are old people who have followed the regent for many years. They are loyal to the Regent's house and can't sleep at night for the Regent's affairs.

Old Wei, the housekeeper, served him since childhood, and his feelings for him far exceeded those of ordinary masters and servants. He said his thoughts in a hoarse voice: "I know all the adults who are good friends with the Lord. I sent someone to visit their house one by one and asked them to intercede for the Lord“

Shen Qingru thought a little and hesitated a little: "general Colin said that the emperor had killed several adults who begged for the Regent's house. He can't implicate these courtiers any more."

The emperor's mind was nothing more than fear that the Regent colluded with the courtiers to rebel. Therefore, at this time, the more courtiers pleaded, the more angry the emperor was.

"Is there any lady in the palace who makes friends with us?" Shen Qingru thought and asked.

At this time, it is more appropriate for the emperor's concubine to plead with the emperor. Even if you don't plead directly, you can also explore the emperor's tone of voice and know what he thinks about this matter.

The housekeeper soon understood Shen Qingru's meaning. Is it because: "empress Yan Ru dominates the back palace in the imperial palace. It's hard for several aristocratic women who make friends with our family, Chen Shubin and Xiao Jieyu, to see Tianyan, let alone plead for the Lord. It's just that one or two of the newly appointed little masters are spoiled..."

"Who is it?" Shen Qingru asked with bright eyes.

"There is a Shangguan beauty who was born in a cold family and once received a meal from our family..." the big housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "but she didn't hear from her after she entered the palace. It was only half a year that she heard that the holy family was grand..."

The eldest housekeeper said it implicitly, and Shen Qingru understood his concerns. Although Shangguan and beauty received the kindness of the Regent's house when they were in their humble days, who would like to mention the sad experience in the past after they developed? Besides, she has been in the back palace for several years, and the Regent's house has not helped her. Now, as soon as people get favored with their own skills, the Regent's house goes to ask others for a return, which is inevitable Some are not good-looking.

Shen Qingru ordered the housekeeper to send a heavy gift to Shangguan beauty's parents while inviting someone into the palace to take a message to Shangguan beauty. Unexpectedly, Shangguan beauty was quite loyal. She not only returned all the gold and silver, but also sent a message to the close eunuch——

"Like Ji in ancient times, I have Shangguan Caiyun now."

Ruji was a famous and wonderful woman during the Warring States period. It was only because xinlingjun had great kindness to her. Although Ruji was a female, she paid back xinlingjun's kindness on that day in addition to her personal life and death for the sake of national righteousness and gratitude. It was obvious that Shangguan beauty had never forgotten the kindness of the Regent's palace.

Shen Qingru breathed a sigh. The first step of saving people was finally completed. The next step was to try to prevent Genin's political enemies from taking the opportunity to criticize him. Shen Qingru thought for a moment and finally said to the supervisor, "prepare a carriage for me. The less impressive it is, the better. I'll go to King Yong's house to visit his highness at the third watch tonight."

Regent Wang gning is in a high position of power. Although there are many close friends under him, the people who offend him are also loaded with cars. In order to prevent these people from falling into the well, she must find a way to get Mingrui's help.

The old imperial concubine is in a coma. She is less awake and more unconscious. Shen Qingru can only ask Xu Mingzhu to take good care of her. Xu Mingzhu showed some tenacity at this time. She bit her lower lip and said to Shen Qingru, "I know I'm useless. Other things can't help, but grandma, I'll take good care of it."

Shen Qingru smiled and thanked her, but listened to the other party's awkward words: "you should also pay attention to your body. When you're tired, no one will take care of you."

"My father will come back safely." Xu Mingzhu cut the nail and cut the railway, his eyes full of determination.

The two girls, who had been struggling, showed some intimacy at this time. In the face of the coming storm, the people in the Regent's house are united as never before.

Unexpectedly, Regent Wang gning came back by himself.

Instead of wearing shining armor and riding a red rabbit horse whistling in from the gate of the Regent's house, he wore ordinary linen clothes and knocked on the gate of the Regent's house silently. The Regent's residence is worried about Glenn from top to bottom these days. The person who opened the door poked his head out and looked impatiently at the man like a farmer: "come back for alms in a few days! There are many things in the house now, and I don't care about you."

The door slammed shut, and Glenn's face turned green. Can't he even get in the door of his house?

Clapped the clappers again, and the man who opened the door was angry: "I said whether you are finished or not..."

Before he finished, the beggar in linen turned around, and the candle in the doorman's hand lit up the man's face, a handsome face with a little vicissitudes, with heroic eyebrows and corners of eyes.

"Wang Ye..." the doorman was almost scared to pee. He looked at his king of hell with his hands on his back and looked unhappy: "why, can't I even enter his own door?"

Regent Wang gning is back! He has been missing for many days and his whereabouts are unknown. How could he come back suddenly?

There was still a torrential rain outside the window. Shen Qingru was still discussing with the housekeeper about the countermeasures to rescue gning under the candlelight. After sitting for a long time, she staggered at her feet when she stood up. Shen Qing held her abdomen consciously as follows.

She has been so busy recently that she almost forgot that she has a child in her belly. Shen Qingru touched his stomach and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The Lord is back... The Lord is back..." it seems that there is some noise outside. Shen Qingru frowns slightly. She doesn't know what those people are arguing about. She was about to open the door to check, but her body suddenly settled there.

"Uncle Wei, what did you hear them say?" Shen Qingru stood there stunned and couldn't believe his ears.

Uncle Wei also heard the louder and louder voice outside the door, and said with tears: "Miss, you heard me right,

They said, "the Lord is back!"

Shen Qingru walked through the long corridor surrounded by the servant girl's mother-in-law. She had no time to wait for the servant girl to open a carved umbrella to cover the rain for her head, and ran into Le'an hall with wet water vapor. Seeing the familiar tall figure, I somehow burst into tears.

At this time, she vaguely understood that she had unconsciously established a father daughter relationship with the vicissitudes of Turkic rough man, and had unconsciously regarded each other as close relatives.

Gning saw his little daughter standing there with tears in her eyes. She wanted to cry and laugh. She couldn't help touching the tip of her nose and showed a big smile at Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru couldn't help it any longer. He and Xu Mingzhu rushed into Genin's arms. Genin held the two girls. The girls' tears and snot rubbed against her. Genin was very happy. He has long thought that having a daughter is better than a boy. How can boys be as delicate as girls? How can they defeat her seven foot man with tears alone?

The old princess looked at the scene in front of her with a smile. She had no other wishes. As long as the family spent together in peace, it would be better.

Gning first touched Xu Mingzhu's head, gently comforted her, then pulled Shen Qingru's hair, smiled and said, "Qingru seems to be tall again?"

Shen Qingru pushed away his hand, pursed his lips and tears fell faster. Now gning was flustered and coaxed her again and again: "Niuniu is good, isn't dad okay? Don't cry, my heart hurts when you cry."

Shen Qingru's heart has been hanging these days, like a tight string. Now it is completely released, and she can't help crying.

"We all thought something had happened to you..." Shen Qingru took the handkerchief from the servant girl, wiped his eyes and twitched.

"Grandma is worried that she is ill. Sister Mingzhu takes care of her every day. People in the house are worried and the housekeeper has been helping me find a way. We found Shangguan beauty and she promised to intercede for you. I was afraid that others would take the opportunity to impeach you, so I went to his highness King Yong and he promised to help."

Shen Qingru simply said the matter to gning. Gning nodded, "I know." probably everyone thought he was going to be finished this time, so these people who were willing to help him were even more valuable. As long as he gets through this disaster smoothly, he will repay the kindness of these people one by one.

"Pearl, you've worked hard these days." gening patted Xu Mingzhu's head and said gently.

Although this disaster is not entirely a bad thing. Gning even felt a little happy. Qingru seemed to have no old grudge against him. She tried her best to save him. During his absence, Qingru even took care of the whole Regent's house in an orderly manner, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

His daughter has really grown up and doesn't need him to protect her as before.

"What's going on?" Shen Qingru asked in a low voice. In this dress, Genin seems to have sneaked back from the border. If the Turkic emperor knows, will he be charged with "escaping from battle"?

"Don't worry." Genin Wen comforted her: "I've made a plan on my way back. There won't be any big deal. I'll go into the palace now. Just wait in the house."

Gning changed his coarse cloth clothes, put on his general's armor, and went straight like a palace with his followers. Before he left, he touched Shen Qingru's hair. Shen Qingru whispered, "before you come back, I will take good care of everyone in the Regent's house."

Glenn was stunned and then smiled: "what you should take care of most is yourself."

His back soon disappeared in the rain. Shen Qingru sat in his chair, looked at the hazy night outside the window, and listened to the cold sound of the rainstorm on the bluestone floor tiles. He was slightly disturbed. This night was destined to be a long sleepless night.

The gate of Qianqing palace opened and closed slowly. Gning sneered and walked in alone.

His followers were blocked outside the Qianqing palace and watched gning go away alone. After the Palace door was closed, no one knew what would happen inside and what fate was waiting for the Lord.

Gning straightened his back and sat on the palace of the Qianqing palace step by step. Once upon a time, there were countless people who followed him and flattered him. Now it's a good opportunity to screen the people around him.

The Qianqing palace was brightly lit, and the Turkic emperor sat high on the throne with dim eyes. Beside him stood the fully armed leader of the forbidden army and the commander of the royal guards. The direction of the blade and the blade were aligned with him outside the hall, and changed their directions with his footsteps.

Genin knew very well that as long as he could not answer a word, the Turkic emperor would give an order and let him be killed on the spot. He was sure that countless royal guards and imperial guards with weapons had already been ambushed in the hall. They would kill them all at the emperor's command.

Naturally, the emperor was well aware of Genin's martial arts, so the ambush in the hall were all experts. Even though gning's martial arts are unparalleled, his fists are difficult to defeat his four hands. He will certainly be killed by everyone working together.

Gning knelt respectfully on the floor tile paved with gold, kowtowed and kowtowed, and shouted, "long live your majesty."

Both he and the emperor are descendants of emperor Chengzong. His grandfather was once made Prince by Emperor Chengzong. Unfortunately, in the end, he was robbed of the throne of Prince by the sinister and cunning Emperor Taizong. If Grandpa succeeded to the throne at that time, it would be him who was kneeling on the throne today. His position with the emperor should be changed.

Gning has never wanted to be emperor. If he had, he would have secretly stationed troops and greedy for wages to prepare for rebellion in the future. But this time, his previous beliefs were shaken.

Just because he is not the emperor or the supreme power of Turks, once he encounters anything unexpected, his family can't keep themselves, and they are likely to become tragic victims under the authority of the imperial power.

Gning was indignant, but he knelt respectfully on the ground and bowed to the Emperor: "Congratulations, your majesty. The victory of this war is due to your Majesty's divine power. God bless me. The Turks captured the leader of the barbarians in the north desert alive."

The emperor, who was originally cold faced, was shocked when he heard the speech: "what you... Said is true? Where is the leader of the barbarian in the north desert now?"

Gning leaned over and said, "I'm afraid of an accident. I specially ordered my relatives to return to Beijing with the north desert master along the waterway. Please forgive me for my crime of being expert."

The defeat of the northern desert was really an unexpected surprise. The Emperor didn't care much. He went to gning personally from under the seat of Jinluan, picked up gning who knelt to the ground and said: "the Regent has made such a great contribution. What's the sin? I should reward you heavily."

"Thank you for your kindness," said Genin faintly, "but I have another thing to report to your majesty."

"I have found out that Yan rumiexia, my deputy general, was responsible for the shortage of food and salaries. I was afraid that this would affect the morale of the officers and soldiers, so I killed Yan rumiexia without your Majesty's edict, and asked your majesty to bring down the crime."

The Turkic emperor was stunned by Genin's words. Yan rumiexia was also a strong Turkic general. He made many war achievements and was famous. He was killed by Genin without authorization?

Regent Wang gning is so brave!

Yan rumiexia is the second person in Yan Rujia, second only to the owner of the family. It is also a tool that the emperor tried to cultivate to check and balance the Regent. Now he died at the border. The emperor's face changed slightly, and he almost blurted out a "presumptuous" sentence.

But the emperor finally held back.

This time, Genin defeated the northern desert and captured the main general of the other side alive. It is really a great contribution. If he is punished for his crime, it will certainly cause the anger of the courtiers, especially the generals.

After winning the war, the general was released from the military power and put into prison. Didn't the world laugh at him, the emperor?

Besides, Yan rumiexia, who checks and balances Genin, is dead. There is no one in the Turkic army who can check and balance Genin. If Genin really takes advantage of the plot, even the Turkic emperor is not sure who the Turkic army will stand on.

For the sake of the present, we have to appease Genin first, and then find a way to choose a person from Yan Rujia to divide the army, so as to continue to maintain a balanced situation.

The only benefit of this event is probably that the Regent's palace and Yan Rujia have been like the sea. Since then, the emperor no longer has to worry about the two largest Turkic military leaders joining together to threaten the imperial power.

"What did Aiqing say?" the emperor kindly lifted up Genin: "it's common that you don't accept the general outside. Besides, it's hateful that Yan Ru destroys Xia. I've always treated him well. He stole my salary to take refuge in the northern desert. Aiqing killed well. Even if Aiqing didn't kill him, I would cut him alive!"

"Aiqing's outstanding military achievements should be rewarded." the Turkic emperor immediately ordered the close eunuch to draft a decree and reward Regent Wang gning with 3 million liang of gold and 5 million liang of silver, dozens of manors in the suburbs of Beijing and 10000 mu of fertile land. "

"It's a pity that Aiqing's title can't be promoted..." the emperor's tone was slightly regretful, "I can only give Aiqing nine tin."

Jiuxi refers to the nine special gifts given by the emperor to his courtiers, namely: chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, Huben, axe, bow and arrow, and Qi. It has been the highest courtesy given by the emperor to his courtiers since the Han Dynasty.

But the people who have been given Jiuxi in previous dynasties are quite worth pondering. Whether Cao Cao, Sun Quan or Wang Mang, they are synonymous with rebellion.

What kind of mentality did the emperor give himself Jiuxi? Is it intentional or unintentional?

Genin bowed respectfully to thank the emperor for his reward, took the imperial edict from the eunuch, and respectfully withdrew from the Qianqing palace.

As soon as he left the Qianqing palace, the emperor on the throne changed his face, waved his sleeves angrily, threw the glass lamps on the table to the ground and smashed them.

"What's his intention to accept Jiuxi without any hesitation? Does he want to emulate Wang Mang, Sima Zhao and others?"

Duke Yan, the inner court's manager, quickly retreated and cleaned up the glass fragments on the ground. He carefully looked at the emperor's face: "according to the slave, the Regent must be magnanimous and won't hesitate to be rewarded by his majesty."

The emperor closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the throne in silence.

Jiuxi originally gave it to test whether Regent Wang gning had a heart of disobedience, but whether gning refused or accepted it happily, the emperor's doubts could not be relieved.

If Genin refused, the emperor would probably suspect that he knew history and was guilty and afraid to accept it. But the other party was happy, and the emperor suspected that the other party was arrogant and had the suspicion of great success.

When Genin came out of the palace, the horizon was gradually brightened. Last night's rainstorm washed the cornices and cliffs of the palace clean, and the green pines and cypresses were particularly fresh and lovely. The air was filled with a fresh smell after the rain.

For the first time, Glenn, who had never been afraid of death, felt a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

If he hadn't kept a mind, if he hadn't always been on guard against Yan Ruyi, perhaps he would have become a piece of loess at the moment.

Gning himself can be afraid of death, but if he really dies, whether it's the old princess or Xu Mingzhu, they can't escape and will accompany him. Now, with another Qingru, the weight is even heavier than all before.

He doesn't care about himself, but he can't let them have any mistakes.

Genin touched the jade wrench on his hand, and a flame was burning in his heart. Maybe he has never thought about anything before. He should think it over.

Now, he can relax, go back to his house and enjoy the time with his relatives. He will never allow those dark and ugly things to appear in front of his loved ones.

As long as he still has one breath, he will protect them all their lives.

Ning straightened his clothes and walked briskly towards the Regent's house.
